Calculating Birth Dates

We all know that having birth dates helps us to complete the information for our ancestors, and birth dates many times are much harder to find the further back you go. But many times we at least have the date of death with the age listed in years-months-days. Or sometimes we wish to know how old a person would be from a birth date. The date calculators listed above can help you determine that information.

Records that give an exact age at death and a death date can be found on:

death records old cemetery stones

church record possibly Obituaries

How it works

The way to use it is to put in the date of death. Subtract the number of Years, Months, and Days, then push the calculate button. The answer is under the lower left corner under the colored box. If for some reason you have the Date of Birth and have the number of Years, Months, and Days when died you would put in Add then calculate the date of death.
